Friday, July 2. Good Morning! News from the FOTB today.

Nice day yesterday, sunshine for the first time in almost a week, 65 degrees! Spent the day doing the wash, a little shopping, cleaning and bagging the remainder of the fish that didn't get shipped home. Jesse had some paperwork at Parachutes to catch up on, so he spent the morning/noon hours working there.

Mid-afternoon we went to Jesse's place and helped him pack/sort stuff to ship home. We checked into shipping stuff home in bulk, but there is a 500 pound minimum, he does not own 500 pounds of stuff, even if you weigh him with it! So we filled 11 postal flat rate boxes and the rest he will have to take on the plane.

Last night we went out for dinner with Jesse, Josh and Jessica (Jesse's old roomate) and Jake. We ate at the Thai place again, meeting at 9:00 PM, (a couple of them had to work). It's just crazy how the sun dictates our time, we didn't think a thing of getting our food after 0930, and then heading to Humpy's for a beer and a live band. Needless to say, the next thing you know it's 1:00 in the morning, and you can still clearly see the snow on the mountains that are 10 miles away. Weird!

Today is packing day, as we will leave first thing in the morning tomorrow, and we will make the trip to the Post Office to mail all the stuff back home, some of ours included. We will be back to the day's of "one to wash, one to wear" starting tomorrow!

Please continue to pray for safe travels as we begin the 2400 mile return ride with 3 1/2 days of the "ferry" sandwiched in the middle. Later!
